eattle band The Hoot Hoots have probably been called weirdos. And if you hold them up against the broad spectrum of indie rock that’s out there, they are a little kooky. Like Black Moth Super Rainbow or The Rentals, The Hoot Hoots are led by the power of their synthesizers, using them to shoot their pop songs careening off into outer space. Hoot Hoots songs aren’t just upbeat, irresistible dance party starters — they’re complete mood alterers that shoot rainbows and cupcakes and kittens and sunbeams into your black little heart. The band also wears hooded rainbow cloaks when they perform. I mean, how can you not love these people? — LEAH SOTTILE The Hoot Hoots with Terrible Buttons • Sat, Feb. 2 at 10 pm • Mootsy’s • $5 • 21+ • 838-1570
ROCK NUDE POP
S
ince local boys Nude wooed Seattle — from the judges at last year’s EMP Sound Off! to the crowds at Bumbershoot and Capitol Hill Block Party — the band has shown what all you can accomplish in a year. They’ve changed their name (to Nude Pop), opened for big touring bands like El Ten Eleven and overfunded a Kickstarter project to release their first EP. The band has also taken their math-y pop sound — the kind of music you can head-nod to and/or dance to — on the road in front of audiences around the Northwest. Our prediction for Nude Pop in the new year? Maybe Kimmel? Jimmy Fallon? No problem. — LEAH SOTTILE Nude Pop with Strange Mana, Ramsey Troxel and Bronson • Fri, Feb. 1 at 7 pm • Baby Bar • Free • All-ages • 847-1234
